Jim Morrison (The Doors)

The Doors took their name from Aldous Huxley’s The Doors Of Perception - a book in which Huxley recollects an afternoon of psychedelic drug use in an attempt to ‘unlock’ those doors. A fitting link.

But beneath the cloud of booze and acid that followed the band from its most creative and experimental to its darkest hours - culminating with Jim Morrison calling a 12,000-strong crowd a “bunch of fucking idiots” in 1969 - lies a prolific poet and charismatic talisman.
